A Ten-Year Veteran Reader’s Shelf of Hidden Gems and Solid Reads for Male Readers
Carefully tending a few promising seedlings 🐾 🎯 This list is mainly for male-audience novels, mostly without heroines. I'll note when the protagonist has a love interest.
A Collection of Books I Enjoyed
Wildly imaginative yet well thought out
Little Boys and Teenage Protagonists (For Myself)
Dedicated to collecting works worth reading. No multiple-love-interest or harem stories.
Personal Reading List | A Storehouse of Plot-Driven Reads
I prefer stories focused on careers. The most important thing is an interesting plot, followed by a well-rounded one. Good writing means telling a good story, not piling on fancy words. Multiple heroines or romantic ambiguity are major drawbacks for me, though that doesn't mean the list has none.
Raise a Cup to the Bright Moon, and Our Shadows Make Three!
I love the afterglow of the sunset, but it won't stay before my eyes just because I love it. That doesn't change how much I love it.
Lighthearted and Witty, with Both Passionate and Dark Stories
I mainly recommend novels between 200,000 and 400,000 words. Everyone has different tastes. You may love what I hate, so please don't flame me if you disagree. Feel free to leave a comment about any good books you've read lately. Great books are meant to be shared.
An Old Bookworm's Reading List
I only recommend books I've read. I prefer DND, historical, and urban fiction. 1. I have high standards for the author's writing. 2. I expect the settings and basic facts in a story to make sense. 3. I have fairly high standards for the plot. 4. I absolutely can't stand idiotic characters. Overall, my recommendations focus on four aspects: writing, characters, plot, and setting, followed by an overall recommendation. Sometimes I like a book because of its author, not the work itself.

Collected Novels with Loli Protagonists
Little boys are so adorable. Cute little boy protagonists or supporting characters are rare on Qidian, so I’m collecting them here.
My Personal Reading List
I've only added novels I've fully subscribed to and enjoyed. From now on, I'll only add completed novels to this list. The list is ongoing, but I'm pretty lazy, so updates will be irregular. Sorry about that 😂
No Female Lead
A list of novels with no female lead.
Great Books with Couples to Ship
Recommending some great books for readers who enjoy brotherly bonds.
Niche Tastes
Books I have read on Qidian over the past few years. I finished some and did not finish others, but I thought they were all quite good. At the very least, none had any glaringly problematic elements.
🔥 A Veteran Reader’s List (Male-Oriented Fiction)
Mainly light novels and lighthearted stories. I rarely read modern-city fiction and do not read romance.
❅Old Baldy's Reading List
1. I only add books I'm currently reading to this list. 2. You can recommend books, but I'll only keep them here for two days unless I'm reading them too. I haven't been reading much lately 😊 →_→ Please recommend some good books (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡
A Conscientious Reading List, A Worry-Free Reading List
All Right, Let’s Try Again
I'm in a reading slump. Most of the novels I recommend currently have no female lead, though I'm okay with a single female lead in some cases. "Magic Tower," "Hell's Human Heart," "Servant of Servants," "The Resurrection War: Fighting in the Third Reich," and "Exorcist Celestial Master" have all gone silent. "The Arcane Pinnacle of Online Games" was the second online-game novel I read back then. The first was, of course, "Going Solo in the World," so I put this one here. "A Guide to Raising Drag

Personally, I feel the biggest problem is the mismatch between the synopsis and the content. It's not that you can't write a slow-burn story, but you need to convey that in the synopsis. With your synopsis, nine out of ten people who read it will think the book should be labeled "lighthearted, pseudo-invincible," but in the first few chapters, the protagonist just cries, is stubborn, and cowardly.
It's that garrison commander with his fiery red cloak ❤️
This book has many settings, and the introduction is rather fragmented, basically only mentioning them as the plot progresses. I've briefly summarized some of the settings mentioned so far; please point out any errors. 1. Warrior Warrior → Hero (can be named a Righteous Warrior) → Knight-Errant (can be named a Great Hero)
To new readers
Looking at the comments, many new readers said they were confused at the beginning and didn't understand some parts. We can't make subjective judgments based on just a few chapters. The writing style of *Li Ren* is relatively slow; readers will gradually find it more enjoyable around chapter twenty.
The painting of Tang Zhao (with extremely high water content)
It's alright, but some plot points require you to think outside the box 🙂. For example, the protagonist's sword intent, light. He can move at the speed of light, and the author repeatedly emphasizes this. I just don't understand. Moving at the speed of light, let's not even talk about sword immortals, what if there's something that prevents movement? Would any swordsman be able to beat you?
Let's discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this article after we catch up (this is just my personal opinion). Let's start with the advantages. The greatest strength of this story is its excellent character development. The author's skill in character creation is effortless; with just a few words, a vivid, well-rounded, and likable character is brought to life.
Happy Winter Solstice! After seeing Jiji Zhaozhao's festive glutinous rice ball illustration, does it make you want to eat a bowl of glutinous rice balls?
The "Extra Building" is soliciting creative ideas for the "Extra Sword" (a type of sword).
Dear readers, we are now soliciting interesting sword designs. Anyone willing to design a swordsman is also welcome. I will periodically select some to be minor characters or even supporting roles (okay, actually, it's a crowdfunding campaign). The sword design is as follows: Sword: Yanggu Swordsman: Minghao (Sword Immortal) Kendo:
A belated Father's Day greeting card 🙏🏻 With Tang Zhaohe and Bi'an by his side, Xingji is truly a winner in life! You'll be so happy to receive a gift from Tang Zhao! Tang Zhao looked so cute as she watched Xing Ji's reaction with such anticipation! (Bi'an: peeking and probing) Oh, so heartwarming!
